Meaning:When an author attempts to pass off
someone else's work as his or her own. Duplicate publication, sometimes called
self-plagiarism, occurs when an author reuses substantial parts of his or her
own published work without providing the appropriate references. This can range
from getting an identical paper published in multiple journals OR where authors
add small amounts of new data to a previous paper.
Plagiarism can be said to have clearly occurred when large chunks of text have
been cut-and-pasted. Such manuscripts would not be considered for publication in
a our journal. Minor plagiarism without dishonest intent is relatively frequent,
for example, when an author reuses parts of an introduction from an earlier
paper.

For
maintaining publication ethics in jolnt all the authors must check their
submitted research papers or review articles for plagiarism and submit the
report to the journal office. This can be done at any free website available
online.
